Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.75 cup dark chocolate chips (sugar-free)
- 24 pieces whole almonds
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, coconut oil, sugar-free maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the coconut is evenly coated with the wet ingredients.
Step 2
Add the almond flour to the coconut mixture and stir until fully incorporated. The mixture should be slightly sticky yet able to hold together when pressed.
Step 3
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into 24 small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Press one almond into the top of each coconut ball, gently reshaping if necessary to ensure the almond stays in place. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15 minutes or until the bites are firm.
Step 5
Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted and smooth.
Step 6
Remove the bites from the freezer and dip the top of each one into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the baking sheet.
Step 7
Return the baking sheet to the freezer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set.
Step 8
Once set, serve and enjoy these delicious low carb treats. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
